  "The Bread Ovens of Quebec"  by Lise Boily and Jean-Francois Blanchette
  This is a thorough study of the traditions that arose around bread 
baking in the rural areas of Quebec up until the middle of this century 
with a focus on the unique clay ovens that were ubiquitious in that 
state. Detailed building instructions and excellent photographs 
throughout. A most inspiring book relating bread baking to the local 
ecology, economy and community in a way that is lost to industrial 
society. This book tugs at our hearts and points the way back.

PS I just watched an old 1930's ( 40's?) movie "Johnny Belinda", about 
a deaf mute girl in Canada, the opening scene shows a woman taking 
bread from a Quebec style earth and stone bread oven,   just like the 
ones shown in the book.
